Daily Horoscope: December 23, 2023

We’re backtracking our steps and revisiting old conversations or noticing repeating patterns in our lives as Mercury enters Sagittarius at 1:18 AM. It’s an interesting time to ponder luck and consider how we get to being in the right place at the right time.

We’re alert and active as the moon and Uranus meet in Taurus at 6:33 AM. Improvisation might be called for as surprises pop up. Our energy needs a physical channel to move through, especially as the moon faces off with Venus in water sign Scorpio at 2:04 PM. The mood is sensual, and perhaps a bit erotic, as the moon mingles with Neptune in Pisces at 6:12 PM. Fantasies could come to life…

All times ET.
